Another Turning Point USA event targeted was a promo event for [[Donald Trump Jr.]]'s book, ''Triggered'', featuring himself, Kirk, and his wife Kimberly Guilfoyle at the University of California, Los Angeles, in November of 2019.

"It is us and our ancestors that created everything good that you see in this country. All these people that have taken over our country—we do not need them. ...
